From a wet woodland in West Sussex, leg spine count indicates Porrhomma oblitum. But to be 100% i will get my county recorder to check the specimen. Appearance looks correct. @britishspiders.bsky.social #spiders #arachnids

James Chisnall @chizz13.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Porrhomma species and with the spine count on the legs ive ruled out all of them down to one species, of course this will be sent to my recorder to confirm but im 95% sure. Its Porrhomma cambridgei! A rare beast. From a path in damp woodland. @britishspiders.bsky.social #spiders #arachnid #spider
